[Verse 1]
Em
One night I dreamed I was in slavery
C D Em
'Bout 1850 was the time
G B7
Sorrow was the only sign
C D Em
Nothing around to ease my mind
Em
Out of the night appeared a lady
C D Em
Leading a distant Pilgrim band
G B7
"First mate" she yelled, pointing her hand
C D Em
"Make room aboard for this young woman"
[Chorus]
Em
Singing come on up, I got a lifeline
C D Em
Come on up to this train of mine
Em
Come on up, I got a lifeline
C D Em
Come on up to this train of mine
D C
She said her name was Harriet Tubman
G D Em
And she drove for the underground railroad
[Verse 2]
Em
Hundreds of miles we traveled onward
C D Em
Gathering slaves from town to town
G B7
Seeking every lost and found
C D Em
Setting those free that once were bound
Em
Somehow my heart was growing weaker
C D Em
I fell by the wayside's sinking sand
G B7
Firmly did this lady stand
C D Em
She lifted me up and took my hand
[Chorus]
